Purses for Saturday's card at MSG Theater: GGG $400k, Stevens $290k, Adusalamov $40k, Perez $30k, Afolabi $20k, Janik $20k. #boxing

so looks like Main Events caved. Their initial offer to Stevens was 300k and they tried to walk away demanding more...looks like they came back when they decreased it.
Decent budget event (compared to their big name fights). Less than a million (800k) and HBO will probably have decent numbers.

HBO is in love with Golovkin right now.

Golovkin plans to fight 4-5 times in 2014

"[Froch] is a big guy, a strong guy and a good fighter with good offense," Golovkin said. "That fight is important and is a great fight for everybody -- fans, fighters, HBO; a good deal for everybody. I want the big fight."

"Right now is my time," Golovkin said. "I want next year to fight the same schedule of four to five fights. I feel great. I am here. I am ready. This [schedule] is very easy for me."

Awesome, if he fights Froch though, that'l be cut to 2 or 3.
If he gets by in the same manner this Saturday, he'll most likely be back in Jan

depends on if he dominates him easily, but of course he needs monthes of training for froch. It would be his first big ppv event.

Boxing fans need froch vs GGG to happen, thats just a boxing dream right there.

Curtis Stevens: I’m gonna f**k Gennady up.

Gennady Golovkin: I have just one question for Stevens. Are you serious right now?

It is really a question of which round. If Stevens sees the 7th round i'd be shocked. Stevens only has a punchers chance and he is a fast and very powerful puncher. However his skill set in no where near Golovkin's. I don't know whether to bet Golovkin 1-6 or pick either 1-3 or 4-6.

I will tell you which round ~ TKO round 2 for the new champion Curtis Stevens

Right, because like you said before....he's black

Never-nowhere did I say that.

[Hougigo]

Never-nowhere did I say that.

So never have you ever said anything like that or along the lines that it's because of Stevens' African heritage will give Golovkin trouble because of his lack of fighting people with African American or African Carribiean descent?

Just checking because I think you did
